CVLTIVITOB.Signs of a I'ar runner.He grazes h4is mowing land late inthe Sprir,. Some of his cows aremuch past their prime. He neglects toivccp the dung and ground from the sillsof his buildings, lie sows and plantshis land till it is exhausted before hothinks of manuring. He keeps toomuch stock, and many of them are unruly. He has a place for nothing andnothing in its place. If he wants a gimblet, a chisel or a hammer, he cannotfind it. He seldom does any thing instormy weather, or in an evening. Youw ill often perhaps hear of his being inthe bar room talking of hard times.Although he has been on a piece ofland twenty years, ask him for graftedapples, aud lie will tell you that hecould not raise them for he never hadany luck. His indolence and carelessness subject him to many accidents.He loses cider for want of a hoop ; hisplough breaks in his hurry to getin his seed in season because itwas not housed, and in harvesttime, when he is at work on a distantpart of his farm, the hogs break intohis garden, for want of a small repairin his fence.

You will see thesmoke come out of his chimney longafter daylight in winter. His horsestable is not daily cleansed, nor hishorse curried. Boards, shingles, andclapboards are to be seen oil his buildings, month after month without beingreplaced, and his windows are full ofrags. He feeds his hogs and his horses with whole grain. If his lambs die,or the wool comes oil his sheep, hedoes not think it is for want of care orfood. He is generally a great borrower, and seldom returns the thing borrowed. He is a poor husband, a poorfather, a poor neighbor, a poor citizen,and a poor christian.Salt Tor Animal.The importance of furnishing salt todomestic animals, does not appear tobe sufficiently understood. Though allare aware of the avidity with whichanimals cat it when given them : Of itsvalue for animals in a medicinal pointof view, the following fact, stated bythe celebrated Curwcn, must be deemcd decisive:Before I commenced giving my cattle salt, my farrier's bill averaged 58pounds per annum, (or more than "250dollars,) and since 1 have used salt, 1have never paid in any one year overlive shillings.'Where cattle have access to sheds,troughs with a constant supply of saltin them, should be kept for their use.Where they must be salted in the fieldstroughs should be placed, and salt supplied frequently. There w ill, in exposedtroughs always be more or less fromrain, but that should not prevent a supply. It has been found an excellentpractice where sheep alone come to thetroughs, to put a little tar on the bottomand sprinkle the salt upon it. In thisway a small portion of the tar is takenwith the salt, and is not only found conducive to health, but rubbed in this wayover the nose serve to prevent the attacks of the Estrusovis or sheep-fly.Albany Cultivator.The Maine Cultivator, an excellentagricultural paper, published at Hallowcll, Maine, a short time since gavean account of the recent discovery respecting the transmutation of the Ciiliflower tubers into potatoes. Mr. Coleman, the agricultural commissioner ofMassachusetts, having expressed somedoubts in relation to the facts, the editor of the Cultivator, in his reply, fromwhich the following is extracted, says :"The facts in relation to this singularproduction are those. Mr. Smiley, afarmer of Augusta, and known to be anhonest and worthy man, gathered halfa dozen of the lateral tubers that projected from the stem of the Gillitlowcr,which was cultivated by the females ofhis. family, and prcservod them overMnter. Iho noxt spring he prepareda bed and planted them out in a singledrill, the location of each seed being indicated by a small stick thrust into theearth by tho sido of each tuber, liewatched for their germination by digging down to them. In due time he sawsprouted. These sprouts he watchedfrom time to time till thoy broke ground;after which he cultivated them carefully. On pulling them up in autumn, helound half a peck of good sized potatoes attached to the roots. He saysthere can be " no mistake" of the factEvery liability to mistake, he can satisfactorily obviate. The lady from whomthe seeds were obtained had noticedthe same results under her culture. Aneighboring farmer had tried the sameexperiment, with the same results. Allthese are responsible and very crediblewitnesses. Aow what shall we saythat they were all mistaken? Thisthey will not believe. They know better. Such a denial, indeed, might be aneasy way to dispose of the subject ; butit will not satisfy a reasonable demandin the case. We know nature playsstrange freaks sometimes. rew sjhjcies sometimes start out from strangeparents.To FARMERsi Where polatoes arcboiled for hogs, tho water in whichthey are boiled should never bo givento them, but thrown entirely away, because it contains deleterious or poisonous properties, a furl which is not generally known.imjoriy, the vital principle of Republic, from whichSunbnry, Xoiihumberland Co.A ISitlllaiit Stucco Whitewash.Many have probably often heard ofthe brilliant and lasting whitewash upon the East end of the President'sHouse at Washington city. The following is a correct recipe for makingit :recipe.Take clean lumps of well burnt lime,(say five or six quarts,) slack the samewith hot water in a tub, (covered, tokeep in the steam,) pass it in the fluidform through a fine scive ; add onefourth of a pound of whiting or burntalum, pulverized; one pound of goodsugar; three pints of rice flour, madeinto a thin and well boiled paste, andone pound of clean glue, dissolved byfirst soaking it well, and then putting itinto a small kettle, which should againbe put into a larger one filled with water, and placed over a slow fire. Addfive gallons of hot water to the wholemixture.This wash is applied, where particular neatness is required, with a painter's brush. It must be put on whilewarm, if upon the outside of the building if w ithin doors cold. It will rctain its brilliancy for many years.There is nothing of the kind that willcompare with it. About one pint ofthis mixture will cover a square yardupon the outside of a house, if properlyadplied. If a larger quantity than fivegallons is wanted, ihe same proportionsmust be observed in preparing. Coloring matter may be added, to give it anyrequired shade.Will some one try it, and communicate the result.Genesee Partner.Hoot Tor CuttleHave you a good stock of mangelwurtscls and carrots in your cellar, foryour milk cows the coining winter? Ifyou have you arc a wise and a luckvman. If you have not, it is too latenow to provide them, but make yourcalculations to sow the seeds of themiberally next spring. You will nevercomplain that you have too many ofsuch roots for your stock. Cows, oxen,liorscs and sheep actually need greenfood in winter as much as in summer ;nit, brought to this climate, this necessity cannot be provided for unless youseasonably supply their natural wantswitn a liberal supply id nutriciousroots. It is an absolute cruelty to keepstock on dry hay six months in ayear. LMaine Cultivator.P.mxt J'or Blildixgs. Mcchanii sall have their own wavs of doing matters, and too often try to make worklook well without much durability.Spirits of turpentine is used most pro'fuscly in paints, when there exists thefollowing serious objections to it : 1stIt is an extra cost, and sdly, It decomposes and drives the oil into the wood,so that the paint on a little exposure tothe weather cracks and falls off. Theonly apparent advantage in it is, that itdries the paint sooner than w hen it isput on without turpentine. Some of themost experienced men of the country,now have paint put on with oil alone,without even boiling, and find that itadheres well and remains a sound coatmuch longer than when put on in anvother way.Baldxf.ss.
